Something has been nagging me these past weeks. Nothing bad. It’s about this photo blog. I decided to embark on this project 365 thinking it would give me a good challenge and help me with my photography. Some people say it does not matter what camera you use, you just need to have “a good eye” and practice practice practice. I think I agree to a certain extend. The great iPhone camera and the challenge of posting a photo a day with project 365 succeed in making me stop and think about things I do every day, things I see, touch, or experienced. Being this “aware” enriched my photography learning, and my iPhone camera, tiny as it is with only a fixed lens, helps me creating some interesting images.

But now, the heart wants more. I still enjoy being spontaneous with my iPhone, don’t get me wrong. And nothing beats the convenience of an iPhone. Take a shot, edit it, and post it, all in one device.  However, I think it’s time for me to turn this up a notch.

I am going to start including photos I take with my DSLR too from now on. Not exclusively like I did iPhone (at the beginning of this project), but alternately. I said to turn this up a notch, not make it a mission impossible. I really think I will learn more too. Despite its “greatness”, that tiny iPhone camera has its limitations. At times I found myself not taking a photo  because I knew my iPhone camera could not handle it (various reasons: low light, object moving too fast etc). And other times I’ve gone the whole day taking hundreds of photos with my DSLR just to realise (in slight panic) that I haven’t taken any with my iPhone.

So there. I’m gonna do this. Let’s see where it will take me… *slightly nervous now*

Breathe out.
